Text: | Take My Life, and Let It Be |
Author: | Frances R. Havergal |
Tune: | ST. BEES |
Composer: | John B. Dykes |
1 Take my life, and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2 Take my hands, and let them move
at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee.
3 Take my voice, and let me sing,
always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be
filled with messages from thee.
4 Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect, and use
ev'ry pow'r as thou shalt choose.
5 Take my will, and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne.
6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee.
